    Summary

    The Absolute is dead. The Archduke is cornered.
    And the Hero of Baldur’s Gate has just accepted the worst deal imaginable—and considers it a job title.

    Baldur’s Gate survives the apocalypse, which unfortunately means it still has to govern itself. With Gortash too entrenched to remove without collapsing the city, he makes one last, outrageous bid for survival: a political marriage to the Hero of the Gate.

    It’s a ridiculous, power-laundering farce. Tav accepts anyway. Gortash wants a shield; Tav wants a functioning city council.

    Unfortunately for everyone involved, Gortash believes he’s acquired a pliable, righteous figurehead. What he gets is a socially inept, relentlessly practical elf who views inconvenience as her only true enemy.

    Contains misunderstandings, spectacular faux pas, deeply unhealthy ideas about relationships, and absolutely no development of feelings whatsoever. Obviously.

    Welcome to the worst power dynamic Baldur’s Gate has ever seen.
